Very sorry for lete update. :bow:
Here is the new version.
 
C.Basic for FX v2.46β (updated 23/10/2023)
 
C.Basic for CG v1.46β (updated 23/10/2023)
 
(build01)
-Changed to create [CBasic] folder only at first startup and use it as the default save and load folder.(only CG or GIII)
-Fixed a bug that the value of the control variable at the end of For~Next in integer mode was incompatible.
-Fixed a problem in which assignment of a string longer than the limit length failed when the length of the string is limited.
 (Length-1 is the maximum number of characters that can be stored.)
-Fixed a bug in Pol()Rect() function that ListAns did not return an answer when MatBase was 0.
-Fixed rounding of ENG display.
-Fixed a fatal bug when using Ref and Rref functions, because they were not supported.
-Fixed a bug in which a command that could not be input by C.Basic command input mode was added and corrected.
 
(note)
 C.BasicCG execution speed is slowed by up to 50% on fx-CG50 OS 3.80.0212.( 3.70 is recommended for C.BasicCG.)
 Graph90+E does not experience any slowdown even at 3.80.
 
 
@Krtyski
Thank you so much for your ongoing support, it is much appreciated. :D

Here is the new updated version. :)
 
C.Basic for FX v2.47β (updated 10/12/2023)
 
C.Basic for CG v1.47β (updated 10/12/2023)
 
(build01)
-Added a catalog function dedicated to C.Basic commands.(Shift+5 for FX version)
-Added mini-font display in file mode.
-Added ? Minifont display of command and variable display. (newly FX version)
(format)?([@]×[,y][,width][, "blank character"][,number of input digits][,R])
(Example) ?(@30,40,5,">",5)A
  The value of A is displayed in mini-font at the current VRAM pixel coordinates (X=30,Y=40) 
    and waits for input. Blank spaces are filled with ">".
-Fixed a bug that the program freezes when using unsupported commands (internal code 0x7Fxx).
-Error display has been changed. Missing WhileEnd" and "Missing Switch".(ref.ErrorCode_List.txt)
-Disabled initialization of hidden RAM for non-GII models.
-Beep command can be interrupted by AC key.
-Fixed a bug in matrix and list initialization that caused an error if the RGB()HSV()HSL() command was the first one. (1.45 Embuged)
 (Example) {RGB(255,0,255),123,456}
-Fixed a bug in which a file exceeding 4096 bytes could only be loaded with the Load(command.
 
-The Locate command and drawing specifications such as Text can now be specified as mathematical formulas by writing them in parentheses.
 (Format 1) Locate x,y,Value/Strings[,N/O/R/V].
 (Format 2) Locate x,y,Value/Strings[,(drawing specification)].
  N:0 'normal
  O:1 'or
  R:2 'reverse
  V:3 'reverse or
 (Example) Locate 2,3,"ABC",(2)
   Locate 2,3,"ABC",® ' R=2
 Either
 Locate 2,3,"ABC",R
 are the same as
 
-FKeyMenu can now be used to specify formulas by writing the drawing specification in parentheses.
 (Format 1) FKeyMenu( n[~m], "string"/icon number [,C/M/N/R/I/S/U/L [,icon color [,icon background color]]] )
 (Format 2) FKeyMenu( n[~m], "string"/icon number [,(drawing specification) [,icon color [,icon background color]]] )
 Numeric value (0-4) in basic drawing specification
  C:( 0)Erase.
  N:( 1)Normal white icon. (may be omitted)
  R:( 2)Black icon with missing lower right corner.
  I:( 3)Square black icon.
  S:( 4) Black icon with border
 The following modifiers are added to the basic drawing specification values.
  U:( 16)Display string one dot above.
  L:( 32)Extend the display range by 2 dots to the left and right.
  M:( 64)Mask processing.
  M:(128)Masks only the border. (FX version only)
 
 (Example) FKeyMenu (1, "string",NULM)
      FKeyMenu (1, "string",(1+16+32+64))
  The above two will produce the same result.

Cool that the Load() bug with big files is fixed. However, there is still a bug regarding folders. Let's say I have some data in
\\fls0\root.bin
\\fls0\FOLDER\file.bin
When I have a PROGRAM.g1m in SMEM:
16->Dim List 1
Load("/root.bin")->List 1
Load("/DATA/file.bin)->List 1
This works fine.
However, when I have this program in Main Mem, it fails on line 3 (load from folder)
I put most programs in Main Mem to reduce flash wear and I can also recover programs if I accidentally delete them.
To resolve this I used BFile syscalls, but that is a bit annoying as it leaks file handles sometimes because I forget a BFile_Close syscall somewhere.

I often work with pointers, syscalls and assembly to improve performance. I have some question about memory allocation in C.Basic:
If I create a list with N->Dim List 1, is it guaranteed that List 1 is a contiguos memory area of N elements? And when exactly does C.Basic move pointers around? I noticed that clearing a list/mat/vec sometimes causes reallocation of other lists/vecs/mats, even creating strings can cause that (probably because Mat r has to be reallocated). This cause headaches because some programs tend to break because they hold a reference to a list while that has already been moved. Is it possible to pin/fix a list in place? Maybe something like
{1,2,3,4}->Fixed List 1.L
&List 1->A
16->Dim Fixed List 2.B
&List 2->B
'A, B still point to the same location, even if other things have been allocated/deallicated in the meantime
SysCall(_SCmemcpy,B,A,16) '_SCmemcpy is set to 0x1DD0 or 0xACF depending on calculator

@sentaro21

 

Thanks for the update. FKeyMenu is finally customizable simply by numerical expressions instead of bunch of Ifs  :greengrin:

 

I noticed a few bugs in the new version:

- In FX version, the cursor in file manager does not fully cover the current line.

- Pressing EXIT while Hist pop-up is shown in C.Basic catalog goes back to program editor instead of only closing the pop-up.

 

Also, thanks for uploading more old C.Basic versions on e-Gadget! But it seems like CBASIC099o1.zip in your archive is corrupted. (^^;

@HappyCalc
Thanks for the bug report. :)
I have identified a bug that prevents access to subfolders from main memory.
 
In C.Basic, matrices and lists are rearranged as their size increases or decreases or delete, 
but each area is allocated to a contiguous area.
Programs are stored from the top of the free area, and matrices and lists are allocated from the bottom.
The first matrix or list allocated will not be reallocated if it is not resized.
 
 
@CalcLoverHK
Thanks for the bug report. :)
99o1 is a replacement uploaded file, so the original is lost.
Please pretend that it was not there, as it does not bother if it is lost. :bow:
 
 
 
Here is bug fixed version. :)
 
C.Basic for FX v2.47β (updated 11/12/2023)
 
C.Basic for CG v1.47β (updated 11/12/2023)
 
(build02)   2023.12.11
-Fixed a bug that EXIT did not return to the catalog after history.
-Fixed a bug that files in a folder could not be accessed when the Load( command was used in a program in main memory.
-Fixed a bug that the cursor in file manager was not correct position. (FX version only).

Dear Sentaro, I am happy to see you again here. I worked with C.Basic all the time. Half a year ago, I switched to the most up-to-date model Graph 90+E, which is a close sibling to the CG-50. I love the white  housings, where I can read the symbols easier.

Using it I detected, that battery life is much longer.

 

I update C.basic today.

@piu58
Long time no see.
My apologies for my long blank. :bow:
 
I am glad that you have continued to use C.Basic on an ongoing basis. ^_^
I have one Graph 90+E, and I think the white-based color scheme is very good.
 
I look forward to working with you again in the future. :D

Dear sentaro and all, my most advanced project is the simulation of an open cluster with the calculator. If you let a bunch of stars do what they want, you see interesting effects. Which occur in reality too

- development of a dense core and a halo

- some of the stars escape

- you get double stars, which generate energy = velocity for the other stars

 

Double stars are a remarkable numerical problem, because I have a time step control. The simulation of double stars requires small time steps.

 

I changed my comments into English, but I let the changed version not run. May be you have to eliminate tiny problems lie a missing ' or so.

 

The program recommends 50 stars, but I worked with larger numbers too.

 

The first such calculations were done by Sebastian Hoerner starting around 1951  with very few bodies. Sverre Aarseth dedicated all of his professional life to that problems. His Fortran programs are very advanced and freely available.

 

Here is a wiki site to the problem.

https://en.wikipedia.../N-body_problem

 

~

 

If you run the program you get a graph with the traces of the stars. In the top line is given:
time    (ahead the .)number of escaper (after the .)Wkin/Wpot, that is the relation kinetic to potential energy

@Sentaro21

 

Well, I managed to fix the CBASIC099o1.zip using WinZip and successfully retrieved most of its files. Suprisingly the g1a file is also saved and works as usual. Some of its source files are lost, but anyway I uploaded it on my Mediafire driver.

 

I am working on C.Basic version documentation, so I have to trace every C.Basic version you have released and see what exactly you have changed in each of them, as well as making some sort of table like this ^_^https://imgur.com/a/vXixVMC (credits to Minecraft Wiki)

@piu58
Thank you for this interesting program.
It is wonderful to be able to easily handle advanced calculations that are considered PC-required with C.Basic at hand. ^_^
 
 
@CalcLoverHK
Sorry for the trouble. And thank you.
Although it has evolved to the point where it is no longer the same thing compared to earlier versions,
Thanks to all of you. Thank you very much. :D

Hi everyone

 

Since January this year I have participated in the development of C.Basic. During these months I have set up the Git page for C.Basic and documented all known bugs there.

 

A while ago Lephenixnoir and I did research on the inferior floating-point arithmetic performance of GCC when compared to Renesas SHC compiler. The conclusion is that the current GCC configuration still use an older software FPU library `fp-bit` for sh-elf, while other targets have switched to a newer one called `soft-fp`. The benchmark results show that the build with `soft-fp` is faster than the one with SHC. As such, I began to port C.Basic FX to fxSDK and GCC. The N-Queens results validate the performance uplift.

 

The new update for FX Edition (v2.50 build 1) has been published. Click the link below to check the full changelogs and download the latest version. If you find any bugs, please report here or in the Git bug tracker  :)

Thanks, CalcLoverHK

Thanks to everyone who continues to work on the CBASIC project. These wonderful calculators, such as the fx-9860gii and fx-cg50, will delight us with their mathematical capabilities for a very long time.
I am currently unable to test the latest CBASIC update. But I will be very grateful to you for your help in clarifying some of the problems associated with the development of this project.
Here are my stupid questions.
1) 1.012040->X: Int(10^4×Frac(10^2×FracX))
Ans=2040 . Does CBASIC v.2.50 return the correct result in this example?
2) Do the deltaList, Cuml, Percent and Prod functions work in CBASIC now?
3) Do trigonometric functions in Integer mode work correctly?
4) If the number of nested For or While loops exceeds the number 7 (seven), will the program run in the latest version of CBASIC?
5) In the fx-9860gii-2 model, the BackLight 1 (On) command has an unpredictable duration: either infinity or time set in manual settings. The BackLight 2 (Change) command has the same defect. The BackLight 3 (Off) command does not work at all.
6) If the program was started from the /ABC folder, can it call the program from any other folder that was saved in flash memory? For example, from the /DEF folder? In ti-83+/84+ and in ti-89T/v200 it is very easy to do, and I can work with huge databases that exceed the size of RAM.
The 8-Queens benchmark is a very limited test that does not reflect the actual capabilities of the calculator. In other tests, we will get different results. In some calculations, for example, the fx-9750g+ (4.3 MHz) is faster than even the hp-50g (75 MHz).
Using one non-standard command in 8-queens benchmark in CBASIC, even in older versions, already gives a result for fx-9860gii-2 of 0.4_sec (29 MHz) without any code optimization.
(OffTopic). One of my recent projects is the study of chess algorithms on graphing calculators. 8×8 board - Fischer random chess and Contemporary random chess. 9×9 board - Modern random chess (MRC by Jose M Carrillo) and some variations on this theme. To my great disappointment, I still haven`t seen any successful chess software for HP-Prime (400 MHz). It is very strange that even a cheap cellphone priced at $25 (100 MHz) can play chess well (ChessMaster.jar or KasparovChess.jar) and reproduce much more complex programs than modern calculators can do. (OffTopic).
I wish success in your work to all fans of CASIO calculators.

Another idea related to the running of the CBASIC interpreter. To speed up the calculator, I suggest adding a command that temporarily cancels checking for all errors in each program statement (syntax, matching data types, correct array sizes, etc.). On your own risk, as assembler-code fragments inside BASIC program in ti-89T/84+(with appropriate libraries) or in hp-49g +/50g.
Here`s how it might look in CBASIC:
... BASIC code ... : CheckOff : ... BASIC code ... : CheckOn : ... BASIC code.
The CheckOn/Off mode can be added to the list of general application settings with the ability to check the current status: CheckOnState (0 or 1).

Hi Hlib2, glad to see you coming back. To be honest, I was kinda concerned about your situation as you offlined for 2 years and you happened to be in Ukraine which we all know what is happening. Regardless though, stay safe ;) .

 

1) 1.012040->X: Int(10^4×Frac(10^2×FracX))
Ans=2040 . Does CBASIC v.2.50 return the correct result in this example?

 

It still outputs 2039 which is obviously incorrect. Unfortunately this seems to be the case of inaccuracy of floating-point arithmetic which is nearly impossible to deal with properly. In this case the actual value has an offset of -2.273736754*10^-13, but this value is unpredictable and there is no feasible way to find the correction value to compensate the error.

 

2) Do the deltaList, Cuml, Percent and Prod functions work in CBASIC now?

 

Only Prod function works for now.

 

3) Do trigonometric functions in Integer mode work correctly?

 

Nope, and it would be worthless to implement them in integer version, after all they are meant for calculation involving fractions and the integer mode will truncate the result, making it inaccurate. However, if you really want to use them in your program running in integer mode, you can first add '#CBDBL before them and get back to integer mode by '#CBINT later. To save the non-integer results, append # to variable like sin 30->A#. Note that you have to refer this variable as "A#" because it is a floating-point type which is different from A% (integer variable A).

 

4) If the number of nested For or While loops exceeds the number 7 (seven), will the program run in the latest version of CBASIC?

 

It will not run as it results in Nesting ERROR due to the design constraints below. I do agree this design is inflexible and there should be idealy 1 macro defining the stack limit, instead of equally allocating the stack area to these loop structures.

#define StackGotoMax 10+26+2+6+26
#define StackGosubMax 16
#define IfCntMax 32
#define StackForMax 7
#define StackWhileMax 7
#define StackDoMax 7
#define StackSwitchMax 7

5) In the fx-9860gii-2 model, the BackLight 1 (On) command has an unpredictable duration: either infinity or time set in manual settings. The BackLight 2 (Change) command has the same defect. The BackLight 3 (Off) command does not work at all.

 

"BackLight 3" should be "BackLight 0". I was able to reproduce the issue. Since backlight duration is RTC-driven, apparently the RTC timer stopped updating while C.Basic was displaying "Done", hence the infinity. However, if you enable Exec TimeDsp and press EXE to show execute time, the timer operated as usual and backlight can automatically turn itself off. Not sure why this happens.

 

6) If the program was started from the /ABC folder, can it call the program from any other folder that was saved in flash memory? For example, from the /DEF folder? In ti-83+/84+ and in ti-89T/v200 it is very easy to do, and I can work with huge databases that exceed the size of RAM.

 

C.Basic is unable to call program in different folder for now as the support of viewing subfolders is incomplete.

 

Another idea related to the running of the CBASIC interpreter. To speed up the calculator, I suggest adding a command that temporarily cancels checking for all errors in each program statement (syntax, matching data types, correct array sizes, etc.). On your own risk, as assembler-code fragments inside BASIC program in ti-89T/84+(with appropriate libraries) or in hp-49g +/50g.
Here`s how it might look in CBASIC:
... BASIC code ... : CheckOff : ... BASIC code ... : CheckOn : ... BASIC code.
The CheckOn/Off mode can be added to the list of general application settings with the ability to check the current status: CheckOnState (0 or 1).

 

Good idea, though for the command part it can be '#ERR0/1 to maintain compatibility with Casio Basic. Idealy, I think instead of disabling error checking, it would be better to seperate it entirely from C.Basic function implementations and leave that to debug mode only.

 

Thanks for your suggestions!

The calculatotor an casio basic use BCD coding of floating point numbers. So all the decimal numerals were preserved.

C.basic uses a binary represention. The preservation of decimal places is not assured. If you want the correct answer you shave to use

Int(0.5+10^4*Frac(10^2*Frac x))

You have to do this in almost all programming languages.

 

Do trigonometric functions in Integer mode work correctly?

 

Integers are not thought for triconometric functions. I don't see a reason for using this.

@ CalcLoverHK
This is a very clear and detailed explanation of current issues. I appreciate your help!
@ piu58

If you want the correct answer you have to use
Int(0.5+10^4*Frac(10^2*Frac x))

Yes, this is a useful way. In CBASIC, we also need to check the results more carefully and avoid dangerous constructions.

Integers are not thought for triconometric functions. I don`t see a reason for using this.

You are absolutely right. In integer mode √A and #√A, ln A and #ln A, e^A and #e^A run normally, but sin A without # gives Syntax ERROR. Obviously, this makes some sense.
